[a device for squeezing the mind?]
"vice". I only have two dictionaries, both ancient in recent terms.
One - the "Westminster English Dictionary" - a rather battered, hard bound copy that may well have belonged to my father. Published by "Rigby Ltd, Adelaide" but "printed in Great Britain" .. but contains no publishing date.
[oh shit. have just found one page of a hand-written letter hidden among its pages .. haven't opened the book since 1975 .. forgive me .. am going silent while i digest its import]
[update .. nothing to do with my father, just something written by someone else to someone else, but relevant to three people, a long time ago.
There will be few who understand the significance of these few words .. unseen, for so many years ..

The letter was worth the login. Thanks.
am a soppy, sooky bastard ..70plus. Seeing those words threw my concept of reality "sideways and backwards" a bit.
However, have hung Linus' blanket out to dry in the harsh Australian sun ..and am back on track .. sort of .. um, long story .. heh.
